Default Need help identifying the air cleaner base

I am trying to get the PCV system back to stock. But I have this air cleaner base which I cannot identify and I do not know if it can be used. It does not have the tube for the hose and the flame arrestor. Do I need to buy a new base or is just the base broken?



Thanks as always.

Hi V,
The base in your photo is an aftermarket universal base.
Perhaps something like this might suit?
It depends on your carburetor and fuel line as to what base will fit your engine.
Regards,
Alan

Base is flipped upside down.

Hi Alan, thanks for helping me identify it! At Willcox I found the proper base but I am afraid it won't fit. I have a Holley 600 CFM Classic Holley Carburetor. Sure someone has this carb can chime in if it fits.

It fits both my 670 Holley Street Avenger and my 650 HP carb. It should fit your 600 just fine.

If it's making contact on some of the weird angles try a simple top spacer.
